I'm so excited!!! (aka LINKVILLE USA)

I am too busy making 200 cake pops to compose my own post about the Open House, so I just copied and pasted Cassie's blog post. Plus, she covered everything much better than I would!

Seriously though...you REALLY SHOULD COME...it is going to be FUN FUN FUN!

Check out below all that will be going on!

Cassie's post...

Ok...the open house is Sunday.

Homemade bread is baking.

Jennie is working tirelessly on cake pops.

Mom is a baking fool today for the bake sale.

It's going to be SO FUN!!!

But guess what! You don't have to BE HERE to participate! All of the "vendors" (seriously...i don't know what to call them. i'd like to say all the "really super awesome people who are going to be here") have set up ONLINE parties! Which means if you'd like to order online and have it SHIPPED TO YOUR DOOR and still have profits going towards The Adventure Project, YOU CAN! SWEET!

Here are the details:

Heather from Scentsy will be here. If you would like to order through her online party CLICK HERE and then click on "Cassie's water". All items will be shipped to your door.

Sara from Mary Kay will be here. If you would like to order through her online and have your items shipped to your door, CLICK HERE.

We don't have an actual Uppercase Living rep coming, but they have offered to have a catalog party here and Lora DeCook will be manning the table. :) She's totally cute and fun, so you will want to buy from her!! Anyway, they also set up an online option. CLICK HERE and make sure you click the "Associate with Open House" section and then click on LORA DECOOK.

Other fun stuff...

We are going to have munchies and WINE to sip on. We live right around the corner from Ardon Creek Winery and I LOVE THEM! Like seriously think they are awesome people and love to support them in all my wine needs. :) So we will be offering their wine for your enjoyment as well!

My sister is literally making 200 of her Cake Pops. Go check them out HERE. She is also donating 35% of all photo sessions booked through her on Sunday to The Adventure Project. She takes your pics...edits them...and saves them on a CD for you. You get the CD to keep and do with as you wish. It's a great deal. AND she is making some fun clipboards to sell as well. Super cute!

There is going to be a bake sale. I have baked about 25 loaves of bread. My mom is making DELICIOUS sweets. I will also have bags of homemade granola. It's going to go fast, so you better get here early!! :)

There is going to be a raffle. In the raffle we will have a free photo session with Jennie Peakin Photography, items from Mary Kay, Scentsy and Uppercase Living and some of the yummy baked goods. $5/ticket. Plus, we'll have they awesome soap that The Adventure Project is selling for their Keep It Clean Campaign. Because really, this is what it's all about....creating jobs and saving lives in Northern India. It's a big big deal and I believe in this cause with all my heart. I believe in this organization and the women running it (who are seriously FLYING TO AFRICA TODAY for 16 days to scope out their next few projects!!!! ). I promise you, your money will be used in the most effective way with this organization. Love them.

About Me

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Sean since 2004 and welcomed our amazing son Tate into our family through the blessing of adoption in 2006. We then added two more incredible boys, Wesley and Cason to our family through the blessing of adoption in October 2012. My life as a wife and mother is a challenging one, but the one I've always dreamed of.

Our 3 Blessings from God

We struggled to start a family until God opened our eyes to the blessing of adoption. We have been blessed with 3 boys who grew in my heart!

Tate Kenneth (8)

Our little Tater Tot is our first child. Adopted at birth, he changed our world and lives in more ways than we could have dreamed. He is so smart and makes us laugh every day! Timid and sensitive while also a little wild and crazy sometimes, he is the best of both worlds! He is passionate, competitive and sensitive. He makes us so proud every day. He loves his brothers and we are so proud of the big brother they have to look up to.

Wesley Xander (5)

Our middle boy, Wesley brings constant energy to our family! He loves fully and has a personality like no other child we've ever met. He has gone through more in his short life than many will go through in entire lifetime, but you would never know. Strong and willful, loving and curious...gorgeous beyond words! Wesley is not one that people forget, he won't let you. He keeps us busy and we love that we get to be his mommy and daddy forever!

Cason Stewart (3)

Our baby. Cason is the happiest, sweetest little boy alive. He has a way of making any person who comes in contact with him, fall completely head over heels in love. He is snuggly and sensitive. He had our hearts from the moment we laid eyes on him when he was 11 months old. We knew he was going to bless our lives and change our world in ways we had never dreamed before meeting him. He suffered a lot in his first year of life and we get to spend the rest of our lives making up for what he had to endure. A blessing beyond words.
